This past week I was the media curator for the class. As the semester comes to an end, I have many papers, presentations and exams coming up; I really appreciated having something different to work on. I was in charge of all of the social media accounts that the class has, including Instagram, Twitter and Spotify. My experience as a media curator helped me refresh my mind about the Twitter and Spotify applications.<\/p>\n
I had a more difficult time using Twitter. Other than to see what others are tweeting, I rarely use my own Twitter account. I think the reason for this is that I have a hard time thinking about what to tweet. I had to open the Twitter application in order to log in to the class account and I noticed that I haven’t tweeted since like February. I tried my best to tweet on the class account, but I ended up just posting tweets about reminders of the work that was needed for class. However, I enjoyed being able to use the Twitter application to actually post something rather than just looking over other tweets.<\/p>\n
Instagram was easier for me to use as it is the social media application that I use the most. I don’t usually post pictures as frequently as I had to for the class account, but it was still easier to find what I wanted to post. One of the things that helped me was that I went back home for Easter, and I had enough material to choose from. I was able to post a video with my little cousin who I wrote my iNarrative about.<\/p>\n
Creating a Spotify playlist was by far my favorite activity of this assignment. I created a Spotify account a while back, but never really used it. I usually use other applications to play music on my phone or play Youtube playlists on my laptop. Being able to dedicate time to look for songs that I like, new or old, was very fun. I found some old songs that I love but I hadn’t heard in a while. My playlist varies in genre but it’s mostly country. The majority of the music I listen to on the daily is country, but I like a lot of songs from a wide range of genres. I enjoyed creating a Spotify playlist for the class, that I even found myself listening to it throughout the week.<\/p>\n
Through this assignment I was able to use Twitter and Spotify again after a long time. I overall enjoyed this assignment very much and hope that my playlist is enjoyable! -JC<\/p>\n
